SPECIMEN EXPOSITION

This specimen Exposition has been prepared for the guidance of those air transport operators wishing to obtain a Part M Subpart G approval as part of their Air Operators Certificate. The contents relate directly to the requirements of Part M and are based on the example of Exposition contents shown in Appendix V to AMC M.A.704.

The text of this guide has been arranged so that each subject is dealt with insofar as AMC material defines it. Notes and bracketed information are used to explain the recommended text and suggest ways in which the organisation might expand it to suit its own purposes. It will be appreciated that no single specimen Exposition can meet the needs of all types and sizes of organisation or, indeed, reflect the different organisational structures and corporate policies, which emerge as companies develop.

For example, in management "Duties and Responsibilities", the text given here reflects the specific requirements of Part M only, and does not attempt to deal with matters such as employment and the discipline of personnel quotas or achieving output targets. These matters depend on the specific organisation and must, therefore, be included as appropriate by the applicant for approval.

Including a suitable text or procedure wherever possible has expanded the guidance given. It must be appreciated that this is not the only method of compliance and may, in fact, be unsuitable for some organisations. Its purpose is only to illustrate the nature of the information required.

It is not necessary to give the detailed number of employees of the whole company , only the number of those involved in continuing airworthiness.)

To enable the CAA to accept the number of persons and their qualifications, an organisation should make an analysis of the tasks to

be performed, the way in which it intends to divide and/or combine these tasks, indicate how it intends to assign responsibilities and establish the number of man/hours and the qualifications needed to perform the

tasks. With significant changes in the aspects relevant to the number and qualifications of persons needed, this analysis should be updated.

The organisation should be able to demonstrate on an ongoing basis that the actual level of continuing airworthiness management and review

work they have committed themselves to does not exceed their identified available resource.

As of “enter date”, the number of available resource (in man hours) involved in continuing airworthiness management and airworthiness review activities are shown in the following table:

It forms part of enter operator's name EU-OPS 1/JAR-OPS 3 delete as appropriate Quality System required by EU-OPS 1.035/JAR-OPS 3.035

2.1.1 Continuing Airworthiness Quality Policy

The Quality System and associated Quality Assurance Programme enables monitoring of enter operator's name compliance with EU-OPS 1/JAR-OPS 3 and Part M, the Operations Manual, Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition and any other standards specified by enter operator's name or the CAA/EASA, to ensure safe operations and airworthy aircraft.

2.1.2 Quality Programme

The Quality Programme will be developed by the Quality Manager in liaison with the Continuing Airworthiness Manager. The Quality Manager will implement an

audit programme which during a twelve month period will address the whole continuing airworthiness management activity and all of the aspects of Part M which have a bearing on the continuing airworthiness arrangements of enter operator's name.( This includes any sub-contracting activities)

The Quality Programme will also address those aspects of the individual aircraft's continuing airworthiness, which would have been covered by the UK CAA Certificate of Maintenance Review.

The Quality Programme will also incorporate Sample Surveys of the aircraft operated by enter operator's name.

The Quality Programme forms Appendix 1 to this Part Two of the CAME. Or 'is held by the operator's Quality Manager if this is more appropriate.

2.1.3 Quality Audit Procedure

The primary purpose of the audit(s) will be to observe, in an objective fashion, a particular event/action/document etc. in order to verify whether established operational and continuing airworthiness procedures and requirements are followed during the accomplishment of that event. This with a view to ensuring that the required standard is being achieved.

Every audit is undertaken by a quality auditor as part of the overall audit Programme and will be the subject of an audit report. Before distribution, the preliminary conclusions will be advised to the person(s) in charge of the areas subject to audit. The quality auditor and the persons responsible for the areas/subjects audited will determine and agree together the corrective actions to be taken. This will also define the time allowed for corrective actions to be implemented. The corrective action should be determined taking into account the root cause of the finding, such that the corrective action may be carried out in a fashion that will prevent possible re-occurrence of the finding.



The audit reports are distributed to the following personsa) The person responsible for the audited areas/departmentb) The Accountable Manager of enter operator's namec) The Continuing Airworthiness Manager.d) The Part 145 maintenance organisation (if applicable).e) The Quality Manager

Delete/combine titles as applicable to the operator's organisational structure.

Note also that as a minimum, it would be recommended that at least two audits per annum are performed. These should preferably occur just before any scheduled Liaison Meeting so that the necessary actions can be agreed with

all parties present.

The Part 145 maintenance organisation will be responsible for any findings/concerns that affect the contracted Part 145 maintenance organisation and ensuring that appropriate corrective action measures are implemented.

2.1.4 Quality Audit Remedial Action Procedure

The Quality Manager, in liaison with the Continuing Airworthiness Manager and Accountable Manager, will conduct an annual review of the corrective actions recommendations issued as a result of audits carried out during the preceding twelve months to ensure they have been appropriately implemented. Where it decided that appropriate action has not been taken by the contracted Part 145 organisation then the person responsible will be reminded and a copy of the reminder sent to the Accountable Manager of the contracted Part 145 maintenance organisation. If the fault lies within enter operator's name then immediate clearance action will be undertaken with the Accountable Manager.

2.2 Monitoring of the Operators Continuing Airworthiness Management Activities

The Audit Plan includes an assessment of the Continuing Airworthiness Management activities against the procedures defined in the CAME and in particular the ability of the Continuing Airworthiness Coordinator’s ability to discharge their responsibilities effectively with respect to Part M.

2.3 Monitoring of the Effectiveness of the Maintenance Programme

The Audit Plan as carried out by the Quality Manager includes a review of the effectiveness of the Maintenance Programme. This review will critically analyse the findings and actions taken as a result of Para. 1.5 of this CAME.

2.4 Monitoring that all Maintenance is Carried Out by an Appropriately Approved Part 145 Organisation

The Annual Audit Plan includes verification that the contracted Part 145 maintenance organisation's approval granted by the CAA/EASA is relevant to the maintenance being performed on the aircraft operated by enter operator's name.

Any feed back information requiring amendments to the maintenance contracts for aircraft, engines or components should be reviewed and the contracts amended accordingly.



2.5 Monitoring that all Contracted Maintenance is Carried Out in Accordance with the Contract, including Sub-contractors used by the Maintenance Contractor

The Audit Programme will include a review of all maintenance provided to enter operator's name by the contracted Part 145 maintenance organisation, including sub-contractors. This review will assess all of the contracted maintenance is carried out in accordance with the Maintenance Contract.

2.6 Quality Audit Personnel

All quality audit personnel shall be suitably qualified, trained and experienced to meet the requirements of the audit tasks.

Where quality audit personnel are contracted on a part time basis, the auditor must not be directly involved in the activity they have been asked to audit.

The Quality Manager has direct access to the Accountable manager and all parts of the operators, subcontractors organisations.

The post of Quality Manager and Accountable manager may be combined, in the case of small organisations. In this event audits should be conducted by independent personnel (Quality Auditor) and it will not be possible for the Accountable manager to be one of the Nominated Post Holders.

The Independent Person for Quality auditing will be contracted for a period of XXX hours per annum (the period should reflect the necessity to conduct a minimum of two audits of all of the operator's continuing airworthiness management activities. A copy of the contract, less the financial details is attached as Appendix 2 to this Part Two of the CAME.

3.5 Quality audit of aircraft

(This paragraph should set out the procedures when performing a quality audit of an aircraft. It should set out the differences between an airworthiness review and quality audit. This procedure may include: Compliance with approved procedures; Contracted maintenance is carried out in accordance with the contract; Continued compliance with Part M.)

3.6 Quality audit of sub-contracted Part M tasks.

(This paragraph should set out the procedures when performing a quality audit of the continuing airworthiness functions sub-contracted out. It should include; Compliance with approved procedures; Contracted continuing airworthiness functions are carried out in accordance with the

contract; Continued compliance with Part M.)



PART 4 AIRWORTHINESS REVIEW PROCEDURES (M.A.710)

4.1 Airworthiness review staff

(This paragraph should establish the working procedures for the assessment of the airworthiness review staff. The assessment addresses experience, qualification, training etc. A description shall be given regarding the issuance of authorisations for the airworthiness review of staff and how records are kept and maintained.)

The organisation should also describe how it will ensure that the airworthiness review staff meet acceptable criteria. Essentially this should break down in to two aspects: (i) the individual’s competence and (ii) the position held within the organisation.

Taking these two points in order:

(i) M.A.707(a) starts off by stating “To be approved to carry out airworthiness reviews….” The airworthiness review is defined in M.A.710 which outlines all of the tasks the nominated person should be able to demonstrate his/her individual competence in. Clearly for organisations with a large fleet of aircraft the airworthiness review tasks can be undertaken by a number of people but the ARC signatory retains the responsibility and should be able to technically assess the adequacy of what he/she has been presented.

(ii) MA.707(a) 4. requires the individual to hold a position within the organisation with appropriate responsibilities. The associated AMC states a desire that the ARC signatory is also independent of the airworthiness management process. This should be interpreted as follows:

1. a person independent of the continuing airworthiness management tasks for the aircraft under review, or

2. the person having the overall management responsibility for the department that undertakes the continuing airworthiness management tasks

NOTES:Airworthiness review staff must be qualified in accordance with M.A.707. To satisfy the requirements of M.A707(a)2 – Note: An acceptable equivalent qualification for example could be in accordance with EU Council Directive 89/48/EEC , e.g. IEng registration via RAeS and EC/UK.

If the airworthiness review personnel do not hold a Part 66 license they must be able to demonstrate formal aeronautical maintenance training.

Airworthiness review staff must be acceptable to the competent authority. (EASA Form 4 Application to CAA). They should have conducted a full airworthiness review under supervision prior to their nomination on the EASA Form 4. If this is part of an initial organisation approval application the nominated signatory will need to demonstrate their competence to the CAA in the first instance. Subsequent nominees could then be supervised by the now approved signatory.

If the airworthiness review personnel do not hold the appropriate type rated Part 66 license for the aircraft being physically surveyed,, a suitably type rated Part 66 licensed engineer should be utilised to assist with this part of the review. This engineer must be


ANYBODY’S CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS MANAGEMENT EXPOSITIONassessed by the organisation as competent to carry out the survey and have an understanding of the organisations procedures.

These procedures should also address the need for the organisation to retain records of airworthiness staff for a period of 2 years after the person has left the employment of the organisation M.A.707 (e)

4.2 Airworthiness Review General Procedures

This paragraph should include any necessary additional procedures, not already covered in this section, to ensure the organisation is in compliance with M.A. 710 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) (f), (g) and (h)



4.3 Review of aircraft records

(This paragraph should describe in detail the aircraft records that are required to be reviewed during the airworthiness review. The level of detail that needs to be reviewed shall be described and the number of records that need to be reviewed during a sample check.)

This section should cover all the applicable aspects of M.A.710 and associated AMC material.

An example of the suggested format and content of an Airworthiness Review Report is included as appendix 5.7 This report will form part of the continuing airworthiness records.

If the airworthiness review is inconclusive then the competent authority must be informed (ref M.A.710(h)).

4.4 Physical Survey

(The organisation should develop procedures to describe how the physical survey is to be performed. It should detail how it will identify, in addition to those required by M.A.710(c), other topics that need to be reviewed, the physical areas of the aircraft to be inspected and why, also which documents onboard the aircraft need to be reviewed etc.)

Reference should be made to paragraph 4.1 with regard to the qualifications of the person carrying out the physical survey.

4.5 Additional procedures for recommendation to competent authorities for the import of aircraft

This paragraph should describe the additional tasks regarding the organisations involvement with the recommendation for the issuance of an airworthiness review certificate in the case of an import of an aircraft.

This shall include:

- communication with the competent authority of the state of registry, - additional items to be reviewed during the airworthiness review of the aircraft- additional (state of registry) national requirements, - specification of (bridging) maintenance required to be carried out - etc..

It should also detail the organisation procedures that would deal with the import of used aircraft and the subsequent recommendations to the competent authority for the issue of an Airworthiness Certificate in accordance with Part 21 subpart H.

There are four scenarios for importing an aircraft on to the U.K. register:

1a. New Aircraft from a non-EU Manufacturer (where EASA has published a decision on the mutual acceptance of certification and production standards with the state of design)

1b. New Aircraft from a non-EU Manufacturer (where EASA has not published a decision on the mutual acceptance of certification and production standards with the state of design)

2 Used Aircraft from an EU member state


ANYBODY’S CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS MANAGEMENT EXPOSITION3 Used Aircraft from a non-EU member state

The procedures should describe how the organisation will address, as applicable, the relevant aspects of the following flowcharts:











4.6 Recommendation to competent authorities for the issue of Airworthiness Review Certificates (EASA Form 15a)

(This paragraph should stipulate the communication procedures with the competent authorities in the case of a recommendation for the issuance of an airworthiness review certificate EASA Form 15a. In addition the content of the recommendation shall be described.)

Refer to para 4.2, 4.3 and the Airworthiness Review Report in Appendix 5.7.

4.7 Issuance of Airworthiness Review Certificates (EASA Form 15b)

(This paragraph should set out the procedures for the issuance or the extension of the ARC. It should address record keeping, distribution of the ARC copies etc. This procedure should ensure that only after an airworthiness review that has been properly carried out, an ARC will be issued. Also the conditions under which an ARC can be extended. The dating criteria should be described for both an issue and for an extension of an ARC, with details of the anticipation periods.)

Cross refer to para 4.2, 4.3 and the Airworthiness Review Report. These procedures should include how a verification review (Ref: M.A.901(c) 2.and associated AMC) is carried out if the aircraft is in a controlled environment Refer to Annual Verification Form in Appendix 5.8

4.8 Airworthiness review records, responsibilities, retention and access

(This paragraph should describe how records are kept, the periods of record keeping, location where the records are being stored, access to the records and responsibilities.)
